Product Description
From Amazon
He is remembered in the United States primarily for the rather banal repetitions of Bolero, but Maurice Ravel wrote a great deal of music more worthy of celebration: ballets like Ma Mere l'Oye (Mother Goose) and Daphnis et Chloe; orchestral and piano works like Pavane pour une Infante Defunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) and the Rapsodie Espagnole; operas like L'Enfant et les Sortileges (The Child and the Enchantments); and settings of Greek and Jewish songs. British author and critic Gerald Larner offers a well-researched, well-written, accessible biography of Ravel's life and compositions that explores his music and his motivations, a part of the Phaidon Press Limited 20th Century Composers series.
From Library Journal
Ravel was always sensitive about his diminutive size and the constant comparison of his work to that of Debussy. His compositions were considered dangerously progressive by the musical establishment of the day, but his Bolero has become one of the war horses of the symphony orchestra. Music critic Larner offers this entry in Phaidon's "20th Century Composers" series as the first biography on Ravel to appear in English in nearly a decade. In this discussion of his life and works, the works come second. The analysis of the music is rather superficial, avoiding technical terms and lacking a single musical example. Illustrations and photographs, however, are excellent and abundant. This, along with the absence of footnotes, indicates that the book is intended for the general reader rather than the music student. Recommended for public and academic libraries.?Michael Colby, Univ. of California, Davis

"He is remembered in the United States primarily for the rather banal repetitions of Bolero, but Maurice Ravel wrote a great deal of music more worthy of celebration." Ewwwkay. "Rather banal"? "Wrote 'a great deal' of music more worthy"? Does the idiot who wrote that even know Ravel's work or symphonic music at all? Obviously not. If you think Bolero is "banal," go see it performed by a live orchestra and don't rent the movie "10." I look forward to reading other reviews about this book written by people who know what the crap they are writing about.

Now it appears that it engaged in the same kinds of deeper data harvesting techniques that the U.S. uses on alleged "terrorists", in an even less justifiable context -- to spy on rival nations.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter on Thursday appointed himself and several aides to the board of the Community College of Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. The board has not previously had a mayor among its members. "What's at work here very simply is that Mayor Nutter has been, from the start of his term as mayor, deeply concerned about and invested in the issues of education and job training and workforce development," a spokesman for the mayor said. "At the nexus, really, of all those issues is Community College of Philadelphia."
Higher Education Quick Takes
Quick Takes
A survey of admissions officers by Kaplan Test Prep has found that they are increasingly likely to find on social media material that may hurt some applicants' chances of admission. Only a minority of admissions officers say that they consult Google or Facebook on applicants. But the percentage of admissions officers who reported that something they found there had negatively affected an applicant's chances of admission increased in the last year from 12 percent to 35 percent. Some of the material that the admissions officers found: essay plagiarism, vulgarities in blogs, alcohol consumption in photographs and "illegal activities."
An update to the student loan system that revealed some borrowers' personal information to other borrowers was inadvertent and did not disclose borrowers' birth dates or Social Security numbers, the Education Department said Thursday. A glitch in a new feature allowing students to download their student loan information gave students access to other borrowers' information instead, the department said, but the problem involved only "a small number' of borrowers (two borrowers reported the problem to the department) and was fixed "within hours."
The affected borrowers had access to others' addresses and loan amounts. "While we regret any inconvenience this may have caused, we have no reason to believe that any fraudulent activity resulted from this error," department spokesman Justin Hamilton said in an e-mail to Inside Higher Ed.
Private colleges increased their tuition by an average of 3.9 percent in 2012-13, the smallest rise in four decades, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities announced Thursday. The association said its survey, which included responses from 445 of its 960 members, also found that the average institution's financial aid budget rose by 6.2 percent. The data come at a time of heightened pressure from politicians and the public for colleges to keep their charges within reach of students and families.
The State Higher Education Executive Officers, in an open letter Thursday, laid out a suggested agenda for the next presidential administration (whether President Obama or Mitt Romney) in keeping with many of higher education's requests. The next administration, wrote Paul Lingenfelter, the group's president, should stay focused on increasing the number of Americans with college degrees and keeping college affordable, supporting research while making it more efficient, and facilitate cooperation between higher education and elementary and secondary education. The letter also highlighted the role state funding cuts have played in tuition growth, but didn't suggest that the federal government should do anything (such as maintenance-of-effort provisions in legislation) to reverse the trend.

Ontario Wooden, a dean at North Carolina Central University, has been arrested and charged with assaulting a colleague, The Durham Herald-Sun reported. The arrest warrant for Wooden said that he "unlawfully and willfully" assaulted a woman (an unnamed employee at the university) "by grabbing her forearm and shoving her against a cabinet, causing scratches and bruises on the forearm and upper left shoulder." The dean was released on bond, and the university declined to comment on the arrest.
Controversial research on hydraulic fracking has ended at Pennsylvania State University, Bloomberg reported. Many have criticized the research because of its support by a pro-fracking research group, and questions about whether there was sufficient disclosure of that tie. The faculty member who did the original research has left the university, and now there is not any faculty member willing to do the research, so the group cannot continue to fund the project at the university.
A new feature for student borrowers on the Education Department's National Student Loan Data System might have revealed personal data about borrowers, mimicking another data breach a year ago. The system, a clearinghouse for borrowers and institutions to get information about student loans, recently added a way for borrowers to download all of their data with one click. But some borrowers, when they tried, got information for other borrowers instead, according to financial aid listservs. A similar error happened last year, affecting about 5,000 borrowers: people who logged in to the system saw information for other borrowers instead of their own.
The Education Department was unable to immediately provide any more information about the alleged glitch on Wednesday.
In the first presidential debate, held at the University of Denver on Wednesday night, Republican nominee Mitt Romney said he wouldn't cut federal spending on education, and that he expects spending on the Pell Grant to continue to grow. While the 90-minute debate was peppered with references to education, including higher education, Romney's remarks were the only new policy statements on how the next administration (of either party) might deal with colleges and universities.
But given Romney's support for tough domestic spending cuts, and a consensus even among supporters of the Pell Grant that the program's growth must be contained, the statement was something of a surprise. Obama argued that his challenger's math didn't add up — that Romney couldn't cut both taxes and the deficit and also protect his budget priorities.
Community colleges also got some airtime during the debate, as President Obama praised them as a source for job training programs and Romney vowed to streamline those programs. But the two candidates largely stuck to older campaign themes on higher education issues, including Obama citing ending bank-based student loan program as an accomplishment of his administration.

Under the Same Moon
Sentimental drama puts a cute little face to illegal immigration

It's fairly safe to say that Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna)--with its fantastical faith in the American Dream and its saintly portrait of illegal aliens--was not made by right-wing-radio-listening, border-fence-building members of the Minuteman Project.

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
Rough, real and straight out of Romania
By Devin D. O'Leary
If someone started out by telling you that 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is a bleak drama about abortion, shot in Romania and set in the Communist era of the '80s, you'd probably avoid it like the plague. So, instead, I'll start out by telling you 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days captured the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, won Best Film and Best Director at the European Film Awards, was nominated for a Golden Globe and landed on numerous critics' top 10 lists for last year. ...

Ranbaxy recalls generic Lipitor doses
AP Business Writer
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) – Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. has recalled dozens of lots of its generic version of cholesterol drug Lipitor because some may contain tiny glass particles, the latest in a string of manufacturing deficiencies that once led U.S. regulators to bar imports of the Indian company's medicines.
Ranbaxy, a subsidiary of Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd., India's biggest drugmaker, is operating under increased scrutiny from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because of quality lapses at multiple Ranbaxy factories over the past several years. The FDA also has alleged the company lied about test results for more than two dozen of its generic drugs several years ago.
On Friday, Ranbaxy posted a notice on its U.S. website, saying it's recalling 10-, 20- and 40-milligram doses of tablets of atorvastatin calcium. That's generic Lipitor, the cholesterol fighter that reigned for years as the world's top-selling drug.
The recall includes 41 lots of the drug, nearly all with 90 pills per bottle, but three lots contain 500 pills per bottle. It's unclear how many bottles are in each lot, but medicine batches typically contain many thousands of pills. The 80-milligram strength tablets are not affected.
Ranbaxy spokesman Chuck Caprariello did not answer questions or provide any additional information beyond the statement on the company's website.
"Ranbaxy is proactively recalling the drug product lots out of an abundance of caution," the website statement read. "This recall is being conducted with the full knowledge of the U.S. FDA."
The company also filed a two-sentence statement with the Bombay Stock Exchange stating Ranbaxy's investigation would be completed within two weeks, but that after that temporary disruption to the U.S. supply, the company expected to resume shipments here.
Patients who've filled a prescription can contact their pharmacy to determine whether it was made by Ranbaxy or another generic drugmaker and, if it's from Ranbaxy, whether it came from a recalled lot.
Ranbaxy's manufacturing deficiencies, dating to 2006, led to a lengthy investigation and sanctions by the FDA. During the probe, federal investigators found Ranbaxy didn't properly test the shelf life and other safety factors of its drugs and then lied about the results.
In mid-2008, the FDA barred Ranbaxy from shipping into the U.S more than 30 different drugs made at factories in India. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice demanded Ranbaxy turn over internal documents, alleging the company lied about ingredients and formulations of some medications.
In early 2009, the FDA said it would not consider any new applications from Ranbaxy to sell in the U.S. any products made at the troubled factories.
As FDA discussions with Ranbaxy continued, it appeared Ranbaxy would lose its shot at a revenue windfall when Lipitor's generic U.S. patent expired last Nov. 30. At the time, Lipitor brought in almost $8 billion a year in U.S. sales.
As often happens when patents first expire, for the first six months only one generic rival could compete with brand-name Lipitor. Ranbaxy had that right, although an authorized generic from Lipitor maker Pfizer Inc. and partner Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc. went on sale on Dec. 1. With competition so limited, the generic prices only declined a bit from brand-name drug's price of about $115 a month _ until several other generics entered the market six months later.
The FDA finally ended the suspense, deciding just before midnight on Nov. 30 to let Ranbaxy sell generic Lipitor made at the company's Ohm Laboratories factory in central New Jersey. It was unclear Friday whether the recalled Ranbaxy pills were made there or elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Ranbaxy is operating under a settlement with the FDA, called a consent decree, signed on Dec. 20, 2011. It requires Ranbaxy to improve manufacturing procedures, ensure data on its products is accurate and undergo extra oversight and review by an independent third party for five years. Ranbaxy at the time set aside $500 million to cover potential criminal and civil liability stemming from the Justice Department investigation.

Making the Best of a Bad DecisionHow to put your regrets behind you, embrace grace, and move toward a better future
By ERWIN W. LUTZER
Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.Copyright © 2011 Erwin W. Lutzer

Chapter OneTHE WORST DECISION EVER MADE
Thankfully, it wasn't yours
What, in your opinion, was the worst decision ever made? No matter how badly you think you have blown it, I can assure you that others have made worse decisions. God was there to redeem their poor choices and set them on a different path, so we can be sure he is there for us when we take a wrong turn on the road of life.
Paradise Lost
In the Bible, we're told about a couple who made the worst decision of all time. Surrounded by the most perfect environment, they chose a path with incredibly far-reaching consequences. In fact, their decision has affected every generation since theirs, right up to today. No other decision has so negatively affected so many people for so long a time—for eternity, to be exact. Of course, at the moment of truth, they didn't know that their decision would boomerang and give birth to all kinds of evil: violence, natural disasters, and even death. Yes, Adam and Eve win the prize for the worst decision ever made. But if we can recognize that God was both able and willing to make the best of their self-made tragedy, we can be confident that he stands ready to help us, too.
The Opportunities They Had
Visualize Adam and Eve in Paradise. They enjoyed a perfect environment, with no unfulfilled needs. They lived in a beautiful garden, surrounded by God's masterful handiwork, and their five senses were undiminished and uncorrupted. Were they hungry? There were many trees in the Garden from which they could freely eat. And if they had wanted something they didn't already have, they could've asked God, and I'm sure he would have created it for them.
Eve had no insecurities. She not only lived in a perfect environment, but she also had a perfect husband! I'm sure Adam faithfully carried out the garbage and helped with the dinner dishes. No doubt he was sensitive, caring, romantic, and all those other things so rightly prized by women. Eve didn't have to worry about the woman next door becoming too friendly with Adam. She didn't have to compete with supermodels and actresses on every magazine cover. And she didn't have to lie awake at night wondering whether she had married the right man!
Adam and Eve also had the advantage of direct access to God. They walked with him in the cool of the day, evidently enjoying discussions and very likely having their questions answered. But one day they made a choice that ended their evening walks with the Almighty. Standing together by the one tree in the Garden they'd been told not to eat from, Adam and Eve made a decision that contaminated their relationship with God and with each other. In effect, by a single bite of a forbidden fruit, they became God's enemies, and their own beautiful relationship turned sour.
Now, if you ask why this couple chose to disobey God, even though they were in a perfect environment and had everything they wanted and needed, there's no good answer. The Bible doesn't give us a full explanation. What we do know is that, in our own day and age, people make bad decisions all the time, despite privileged circumstances and loving families. Like Adam and Eve, we often choose to do what we think is best for ourselves, and we disregard the warnings and wisdom of others, including God.
The Decision They Made
God's command was clear: "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die" (Genesis 2:16-17).
When Satan, in the guise of a serpent, approached Eve, he focused—as he so often does—on the one thing that God had placed off limits. He diverted Eve's attention from all the goodness surrounding her and Adam—the many trees from which they were free to eat—and called into question God's wisdom and love. He tricked Eve into thinking she could do better by disregarding God's clear command.
Adam, of course, doesn't get a free pass here. He stood by while Eve was tempted and then joined in her bad decision to eat the forbidden fruit. And so they sinned, even while surrounded by innumerable blessings.
Maybe your own story is like that. Maybe you were brought up in a stable home, with loving parents and wonderful opportunities. Yet the allure of doing your own thing distracted you from what you knew was best. Maybe you followed your desires and ignored your best instincts.
Let's look more closely at what drew Adam and Eve off track. It all began when Eve elevated her own desires above God's wisdom. The tree was desirable—it was pleasant to the eyes, and it appeared as if it would make her wise. At the moment of decision, that meant more to her than what God had said. She was deceived by her senses, and that gave her the courage to ignore God's word. In essence what the serpent said to her was, "Eve, feel, don't think. It looks good—do it! It if feels good, how can it be bad?"
Of course, our emotions don't always mislead us, but like Adam and Eve we are often tempted to take the path of least resistance when pursuing something we desire. The decisions we make can seem so simple, and yet the consequences can be devastating. God had warned Adam and Eve that they would die if they ate the wrong fruit, but at that point they didn't even know what death was! There was no example of death in Paradise. Perhaps Eve was curious: "I wonder what death really is? Maybe death will be a wonderful experience, better than life itself." Then there was the added promise that, if they ate, they would be "like God, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:5).
A Window into Our Hearts
Our minds can justify anything that our hearts really want to do. Whether we like to admit it or not, we are driven by our desires. We may think we make decisions based on rational considerations, but we are much more influenced by our passions and our appetites. Because we have to live with our consciences, we carefully rationalize what we really want to do—and continue to rationalize after we've done it. Our minds become enslaved to whatever our desires demand. We tell ourselves, Nobody's perfect, but I'm basically a good person. Besides, it isn't my fault things turned out the way they did.
Moments after Adam and Eve sinned, the finger-pointing began. Adam passed the blame to God and to Eve, and she passed it on to the serpent. Adam and Eve were incapable of seeing themselves as they really were, and so are we. Our rationalizations become deep and lasting, and we become entrenched until we are shaken awake by a moment of reality—often it takes a crisis to awaken the conscience. You've heard it said that most people change only when they see the light, but it's more accurate to say that we change only when we feel the heat!
Eve gave birth to a son and they named him Cain. As Eve nursed him, she had no idea the consequences of sin that awaited their little family. When a second son was born, they named him Abel. He grew to be a godly young man who learned to bring the right kind of offering—a blood sacrifice—to God. Cain, the firstborn, also brought an offering, one from the fruit of the ground. But God rejected his offering even as he accepted Abel's. Jealousy now took root in Cain's heart, and in a fit of rage he killed his brother. Another terrible decision. Thus the long and sordid history of dysfunctional families began.
No Return to Paradise
Before Adam and Eve sinned, they were naked but not ashamed. Imagine having a relationship with God, and with other people, without shame or guilt getting in the way. Imagine if your thoughts were so pure, so holy, that you would have no shame even if your most private musings were known to your spouse, your children, your parents, and your friends. Imagine the freedom this would bring to your relationships: no anger, lust, pride, or selfishness.
Despite their deep regret, Adam and Eve could not return to Paradise. God set up a barrier that forced them to stay away from the home they once enjoyed. Every morning when they awoke outside of Eden, they regretfully remembered that things were not as they once had been. Their innocence could not be restored; no amount of tears would grant them the privilege of spending so much as a night in the idyllic surroundings they had once enjoyed.
Sound familiar?
The young couple who have surrendered to temptation and slept together can never have their virginity restored. The man who has foolishly gambled away his savings or squandered it on a get-rich-quick scheme cannot recover what he has lost. The woman who has married against her parents' advice and now regrets having to live with an indifferent husband cannot retrace her steps and back out of her vows.
Ever since the days of Adam and Eve, we have been deceived by the attractiveness of sin just like they were. In fact, we're often eager to believe the lies that tell us we can do whatever our sinful desires dictate. It's as if we long to be deceived. We live with regrets, just as they did, and we wish we could undo our foolish decisions, but all those bad decisions create a barrier that keeps us from ever going back to the way things were.
But even as the door to Paradise was closing to Adam and Eve (and to us), the door of hope swung wide open. God assures us that something good can still be made from the pieces of our broken lives.
Hope amid Regret and Loss
After Adam and Eve sinned, they hid themselves among the trees of the Garden. They who had felt no shame were now crushed by its powerful effects. The trees that had once been a pleasant backdrop to fellowship with their Creator now became a wall to hide themselves from him and from one another. From then on, much psychological energy and ingenuity would be expended to keep hiding. Adam and Eve had reason to feel ashamed.
Shame is a powerful emotion. I'm told that in Japan, if a man is fired from his job, he often will not tell his family; and if he continues to be out of work, he will not go home. This has contributed to the rise of a street culture in Japanese cities. Suicide is on the rise. We so desire acceptance that we will be emotionally destroyed if we don't get it.
Albert Camus, in The Fall, writes, "Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself." Some people, filled with narcissistic obsessions, are psychologically incapable of taking responsibility for anything, no matter how unjust, corrupt, or abusive their behavior. They appear incapable of entering into the pain of others, but interpret such misfortunes only in relationship to themselves. They will go to their graves without uttering the words, "I have sinned" or "I'm sorry."
Adam and Eve both admitted to what they had done, but they wouldn't take responsibility for it. As the saying goes, the man blamed the woman, the woman blamed the serpent, and the serpent didn't have a leg to stand on! We have clearly followed in their footsteps, stoutly resisting our own responsibility; blaming others; shaping the facts to protect our selfish egos; and if necessary, destroying those around us in order to preserve our own sense of self-worth.
After the Fall, Adam and Eve weren't trying to find their way back to God; they simply hid from him. It was God who initiated the search (as he always does), walking in the Garden and calling out to the disgraced couple. If anything, they sought to become their own gods, so that they wouldn't have to be exposed to the holiness of the one whom they had wronged. But thankfully, the true God wouldn't let them go. His search among the trees of the Garden was the beginning of their redemption—and ours.
Into the middle of this mess, God came to inject a healthy dose of grace. He cursed the serpent, to be sure, but in doing so he gave a wonderful promise of hope to humanity. In Paradise Lost, John Milton speaks of it as "the fortunate fall," because when we are brought back to God there is glory in our restoration. Sin has no glory, but reconciliation does.
The Promise
When God confronted Adam and Eve about their sin, he also spoke to the serpent: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel" (Genesis 3:15).
What does this promise mean?
A Redeemer committed to rescuing humanity from their sin and folly was on his way! The woman's offspring—a reference to Jesus Christ—would crush the head of the serpent, even as the serpent would bite him on the heel. In other words, the heel of the Redeemer would grind the head of the serpent into the dust. The Redeemer would win the battle decisively. No contest.
This story is familiar to anyone who has studied the Bible, but I recount it here because it is central to God's plan for making the best of our bad decisions. Bad decisions cannot be undone, but they can be redeemed. And Jesus Christ is the key.
Centuries later, when Jesus died on the cross, the serpent deceived himself by thinking, Now that I've killed him, I've destroyed my opposition! But three days later, Jesus rose from the grave; and a few weeks later, he went to heaven in undisputed triumph. His wound was light and temporary; the serpent's wound was fatal, decisive, and permanent. It's in the power of the Redeemer that we're able to make the best of our bad decisions.
"Through your faith in the working of God, ... [he] made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross" (Colossians 2:12-15). Jesus disarmed Satan, exposing the devil as a shimmering fraud.
The Covering
After they sinned, Adam and Eve clothed themselves with fig leaves. No doubt if they'd had enough of them, they might have been able to make dresses and shirts. But even though the fig leaves enabled them to hide from one another, their self-styled clothing did not hide them from God. Fig leaves might make a dress, but they soon wither. God knew they needed a more permanent covering; an expensive covering that only he could supply.
"The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them" (Genesis 3:21). Where did God get the skins? Evidently, he killed one of the animals of the field. With this sacrificial provision, God began teaching a basic principle: Blood must be shed for the forgiveness and covering of our sin. There could be no cheap covering for sin.
God dressed Adam and Eve so that their fellowship with him could be restored and their sin and shame covered. Those animal skins had no intrinsic value, but they symbolized what would become clear later: that sin must be not only forgiven but covered. Throughout history, many animals were sacrificed, pointing to the future coming of Jesus, "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29).
Withering fig leaves wouldn't do. Centuries after Adam and Eve, God himself had to suffer on the cross so that we might be forgiven. His forgiveness, though costly to him, is given freely to us. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). That truth doesn't change just because we make some bad decisions.
What God Does with Our Sin
Many people today have a neurotic preoccupation with their sin. Sometimes they confess their sins to one another, which brings them temporary relief. Most often, they resolve to do better, trying to find within themselves a reason why God should forgive them. Even when they confess their sins to God, there is no permanent relief from the feeling that they have messed up and are condemned to mess up again in the future.
The first step toward breaking out of this trap is to understand that nothing within us merits God's forgiveness. Minimizing our sin does not make us worthy before God; magnifying our sin does not give us reason to think we are beyond forgiveness. Forgiveness and reconciliation with God are given freely, apart from what we have done or who we are.
We are pardoned because of the death of another—the promised Redeemer sent by God. We have been justified by his blood (Romans 5:9); we have our consciences cleansed by his blood (Hebrews 9:14); and the serpent—our accuser—has been defeated by his blood (Revelation 12:11). The work of Christ is the one and only basis of our forgiveness. Neither our goodness nor our badness affects this objective fact.

A bit strong so for me this was an afternoon sipping drink. Made for RS#44
Oh yeah this is GOOD! So sweet and smooth that the kick kinda sneaks up on you! Just loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe!
I used diet coke and 2% milk. I think I'd have liked these ingredients better with vodka instead of the tequila...but then I guess it wouldn't be a "tequila" paralizer, would it? :)
WWWWHHHeeewwww!!!! This one goes down way to smooth! I used non-fat milk and diet coke and I am trying to slow myself down as this one is sooo good! OOppps, it's gone.... I better make myself another ;)

Microsoft to end Windows 8 security patches on January 12
Windows 8 is about to get a lot less secure.
After January 12, Microsoft will stop offering security patches for the three-year-old operating system. Users will have to upgrade to either Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 to keep receiving updates.
Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10 out of support this week
January 13 is the last day for business and individual users to move off older versions of the Internet Explorer web browser, before Microsoft pulls the plug on support including security patches.
The deadline this week comes 18 months after Microsoft warned that it would cease to support Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10, giving users time to upgrade.
Microsoft to warn users of govt hacking attempts
Microsoft unveiled a revised policy to inform users when it believes an account has been targeted by state-sponsored hackers.
The move to notify consumer services product users, including users of Outlook.com email and OneDrive, follows similar policies at Facebook and Twitter.
Windows doesn't top the vulnerability list for 2015, but Microsoft as a whole does
Software vulnerabilities are a daily event it seems, but some systems just have more of them. When we think of this a couple of names usually spring to mind -- Flash and Java. However, according to the new list being published by CVE Details, they aren't quite at the top, nor is Microsoft's oft-maligned operating system.

* Higher revenue propel results in Q3
* Revenue boosted by higher gasoline prices
MEXICO CITY Oct 29 Mexico's state oil monopoly Pemex reported a third-quarter profit of 23.9 billion pesos ($1.86 billion) on higher revenue, the company said in a report filed with the Mexican stock exchange on Monday.
Pemex reported third-quarter revenues of 408.9 billion pesos ($31.8 billion) in the July to September period, up 4.3 percent compared with the third-quarter of 2011.
Pemex posted a net loss of 81 billion pesos for the year-earlier period on revenue totaling 392 billion pesos.
The company said revenue was boosted by higher U.S. and domestic gasoline prices, more than compensating for a 4.2 percent appreciation of the peso against the dollar during the quarter.
The volume of Pemex's crude exports slid by 2.6 percent, but the company reported a slight uptick in export sales compared with the same quarter last year.
Mexico's government relies heavily on oil revenues to fund about a third of the federal budget.
For the quarter, Pemex said its tax burden rose 5 percent, reaching 223.4 billion pesos ($17.4 billion).
Mexico is the world's No. 7 oil producer and a major exporter to the United States but has to import nearly half of its gasoline due to a lack of domestic refining capacity.
The company said that average oil production reached 2.54 million barrels per day for the quarter.
Last year, Pemex offered its first-ever private operating contracts for several mature fields, the fruit of 2008 reforms aimed at boosting the country's oil sector.
A third round of contracts focusing on Mexico's massive but geologically complicated Chicontepec basin, home to 40 percent of the country's total crude reserves, is expected to be awarded next summer.
Oil production has fallen off from a 3.4 million barrel peak in 2004 and incoming president-elect Enrique Pena Nieto, who is set to take office in December, said he plans to overhaul the energy industry under state control since 1938 by luring more private investment.

Move will bring enhanced capabilities throughout the Defense Department, officials say
Guidelines for the Defense Department's move toward enterprisewide services are being drafted that will define and coordinate governance and creation of capabilities for a secure, collaborative working environment across DOD, according to an official from the Pentagon's Office of the Chief Informatio Office.
"We're developing an overarching DOD strategy for enterprise services," said John Shea, director of Enterprise Services and Integration for DOD's CIO Office. "The [strategy] will establish and define governance and three categories for services: mandatory, shared and functional capabilities. It [also] assigns management and governance responsibilities for mandatory and shared enterprise services to [the] assistant secretary of defense [for networks and information integration]."
"Right now, we're awaiting [that official's] signature to enter into the DOD SD-106 coordination processes," which collects comments from the military services, combatant commands and principal staff activities, Shea said.
Shea said his office is working to implement strong processes to screen candidates for enterprise services. "We have 12 candidates as of January 2010," Shea said, including soon-to-be core services such as Forge.mil and machine-to-machine messaging.
The "800-pound gorilla in the room" is cloud computing, according to Shea. "We definitely want to get there, but how? That's something we're working on. In early 2011 we will begin planning how to migrate [DOD] to the cloud," Shea said.
Progress in enterprise service implementation is already affecting operations throughout DOD, including at the tactical level that serves as the bull's-eye for DOD's efforts, according to Rebecca Harris, program director of Program Executive Office, Global Information Grid Enterprise Services at the Defense Information Systems Agency.
"We are fundamentally shaking up how we operate. At the end of the day it's simply about delivering capabilities to the warfighter," Harris said.

Digging deep for safer water
27 March 2014 Feature
Arsenic-laced water is still poisoning millions of people in Asia. Nina Notman looks to see if an end is in sight
The World Health Organization's (WHO) drinking water guidelines for nine common toxic chemicals are inadequate and should be re-evaluated, according to a team of researchers led by Bibudhendra Sarkar at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. The 2011 edition of the WHO's drinking water quality guidelines were less restrictive for manganese, boron, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, nitrite, selenium and uranium and did not establish a guideline for aluminium.
After examining the agency's background documents explaining the rationale for the changes, Sarkar's research team concluded that some of these modifications failed to account for the occurrence of such chemicals in drinking water, or key health studies from the last decade. For example, the scientists suggest that the removal of manganese from the 2011 guidelines is 'especially worrisome' because the decision was not grounded in the best science and could harm public health.
Sarkar's team references the fact that the WHO said it withdrew the 400μg/l drinking water guidelines for manganese because that figure is well above concentrations of the element normally found in drinking water, but the researchers note that manganese has been reported in greater concentrations in over 50 countries. Chronic manganese exposure has been linked to various neurological effects such as learning disabilities in children, Parkinson's disease and cognitive decline in adults.
Although WHO guidelines are not regulations, they are often used by governments when setting local standards. 'These are the de facto standards ... especially for developing countries that don't have their own regulations or regulatory agencies,' Sarkar tells Chemistry World. 'On the basis of these facts, the WHO should really take this matter very seriously and re-evaluate the guidelines as soon as possible,' he adds.
Maryse Bouchard, a global manganese expert at the University of Montreal, agreed. 'The WHO guidelines should be based on a comprehensive review of the literature including the latest data, produced by the most credible research groups,' she said. 'This latest edition of the guidelines contains several limits of drinking water contaminants for which questionable risk analysis decisions were made, hence a re-analysis is needed.' The WHO's next drinking water guidelines are not due until 2020.

SANITARY SHIELDS FOR SPRING WATER DRINKING DISPENSERS Filed D60. 3, 1951 JNVENTOR,
W/z 14am LAM/LOB United States P m SANITARY SH ELDS QR WATER DRINKING DISPENSERS William Lawlor, Eagle Rock, Calif. Application December 3, 1951, Serial No. 259,591 l Claim. (Cl. 215:106
This invention relates to sanitary shields for spring water drinking dispensers, and more particularly to a sanitary bottle shield to be placed over the mouth and neck of a bottle of spring water to prevent an insanitary mouth and neck of such a bottle from contacting and contaminating the pure water in a spring water drinking dispenser.
The general object of my invention is to provide a sanitary shield of the character as above stated, that may be placed on the bottle that is customarily used in the dispensing of spring water; that covers the exterior part of the bottle that goes into the dispenser compartment that holds the water; that prevents the unsanitary conditions in the bottle tops now in use from polluting the drinking water in a dispenser; that may be made of any material, such as waxed paper, plastic, or other suitable material, and which is inexpensive of manufacture.
A more particular object is to provide a sanitary shield of the character stated, so constructed and arranged as to extend up over the portion of the bottle that enters the dispenser, and is formed with an annular open-ended stopper which extends into and protects the entrance to the bottle, thus providing a shielded outlet in the bottle leading through its mouth for conducting the water from the bottle entering the water chamber of the dispenser.
Other objects and advantages will appear hereinafter as this specification progresses.
The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawing, which forms a part of this specification, and in which,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation embodying my invention of a drinking Water dispenser with its upper portion shown partly broken away and in vertical section, and with an inverted bottle of spring water positioned in the entrance of said dispenser in the upper end thereof, for dispensing the water for drinking purposes or otherwise.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical section of the upper end of a drinking Water dispenser, with the mouth and neck of an inverted bottle of spring water, covered by a modification of my sanitary shield, positioned in the entrance in the upper end of said dispenser.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of my sanitary shield.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, in which the same reference numerals designate the same parts in all of the views, my invention comprises a circular sheet 1 of suitable material, such as plastic, from which sheet is stamped outwardly therefrom a central annular cap member 2 formed with an annular inturned end wall 3, from which end wall a cylindrical stopper 4 of smaller diameter than said cap member 2, and open at its inner and outer ends, is molded inwardly, centrally within said cap member, and from the inner end of said cap member 2 the sheet 1 is molded in the form of a skirt 5 diverging outwardly and radially from said cap member 2. The cylindrical portions 2 and 4 are coaxial with the flaring skirt 5, and with the central hole (best seen in Figure 3) in the circular sheet 1.
My shield may be placed on an opened conventional bottle 6 of pure drinking water, with the cap member 2 2,81 1,272 Patented Oct. 2-9, 1957 2 extending over the neck 7 and the cap end wall 3 extending over the mouth 8, with the annular stopper 4 fitted tightly within the wall 9 of the mouth of the bottle 6, and with the outer edge of the skirt 5 against the upper wall 10 of said bottle 6.
A conventional drinking water dispenser 11, with an inlet opening 12 in the upper end thereof, and a conventional ring gasket 13 fitted in the upper edge of said inlet opening, and with a faucet 14 leading from the lower part of the dispenser, may be used for supporting an inverted bottle; of pure drinking water, with my shield applied to the top of said bottle.
In Figure 1, it will be noted that my shield is made in one piece of sheet material, that is to say, the cap member 2 and the skirt 5 are made in one piece, while in the modification of the invention as shown in Figures 2 and 3, my shield is made in two pieces, that is to say, the cap member 2 and the skirt 5 are made in two separate pieces with the skirt member cut ofi at its lower central portion to form a sleeve 15 which fits or telescopes over the upper end member 16 of the cap member 2 and said members 15 and 16 may be pressed together in a tight joint.
The modification of my shield shown in Fig. 2 may be made of any suitable material, such as plastic, waxed or otherwise treated paper, and the stopper 4 may be slightly reduced in diameter to fit within a sleeve stopper 17, the outer surface of which fits snugly within and against the inner side of the Wall 9 of the mouth of the bottle and effectively seals the mouth of the bottle between said mouth wall 9 and said sleeve stopper 17, as shown in Fig. 2.
This sleeve stopper 17, when the plastic device is used, also prevents the plastic stopper 4 from cracking or warping, and insures a tight seal between the sanitary shield and the water bottle, thus anchoring the shield to the bottle.
The operation, uses and advantages of my invention are as follows:
When it is desired to replace an empty bottle of drinking water in the dispenser 11, with a full bottle of fresh pure drinking water, the empty bottle is first withdrawn from the inlet opening 12 of the dispenser. The cork or cap is first pulled from the mouth of a fresh bottle of drinking water and my shield is placed over the upper end of said bottle, with the cap 2 placed over the neck 7 of the bottle, the cap and its end wall 3 placed over the mouth 8 and the annular stopper 4 introduced tightly within said mouth of the bottle against the inside of the wall of the neck 7, with the outer edge of the skirt 5 of my sanitary shield against the upper wall 10 of the bottle covering the mouth and neck of bottle theretofore exposed to germs, and the bottle is then raised and inverted and 'the inverted upper end of the bottle is then introduced through the inlet opening 12 in the top of the dispenser into the upper end portion of the dispenser 11 until the upper wall 10 of said bottle covered by the skirt 5 of my shield rests upon the gasket 13.
After the water in a bottle has been drunk the empty bottle and my shield may be removed from the dispenser by merely pulling the skirt axially, and the used shield thrown away.
I claim:
A two-part sanitary shield for the neck, mouth and shoulder of a spring water bottle of the type to be inverted over a conventional drinking Water dispenser to prevent contamination of the dispenser contents, comprising a disposable circular piece of thin sheet material, having a central hole through which water may pass from the bottle to the dispenser, shaped to form two coaxial spaced cylindrical portions joined together by an integral fiat annular portion, and a flaring skirt extending from the larger of said cylindrical portions to be held between the shoulder of the bottle and the usual annular gasket of the dispenser when the bottle is inverted and supported by the dispenser, the smaller of said cylindrical portions being of a diameter to fit within the smooth inside wall of the neck of the bottle and the larger cylindrical portion being of a diameter to cover loosely the outside wall of the neck of the bottle; the other part being a separable, relatively firm seal-forming cylindrical sleeve frictionally engaging snugly the smaller cylindrical portion to anchor the shield to the bottle before it is inverted and to minimize interference with flow of water from the bottle; whereby the entire outside surface of the bottle which is to project inside of the dispenser is covered by the sheet material part of the sanitary shield, the water may flow readily from the bottle to the dispenser through said hole, and the sheet material part of the shield may easily be removed from the emptied bottle, when the latter is removed from the dispenser, by merely pulling the skirt axially from the bottle.
